Can the US&G Slicer Safely Handle Frozen Meats and Poultry?

[pchefinski]

Can you use the US&G to slice frozen meat/poultry? it would be perfect to slice up meats for fajitas or chef salads, or the like..

I don't think soAmanda,

I have not heard of anyone slicing frozen meat on their US&G. It might be too hard for the blades. As frozen meat can be as hard as a rock sometimes. And if you let the meat thaw a little, it might become hard to hold with the food guide. I would call the Home Office on this one because I couldn't find any information in the PIG about using it for this!

It is not recommended to use the US&G to slice frozen meat or poultry. The blades may become damaged or dull, and it can also be dangerous to use the slicer on frozen foods. It is best to thaw the meat or poultry before using the US&G to slice it.
